Sip. Support. Start Something Special

We’re excited to invite you to a relaxed, community‑driven evening to help launch something brand new for Long Beach — our very first Long Beach Film Festival. To kick things off, we’re hosting a casual Wine‑Bar Fundraiser where you can sip, mingle, and learn more about the festival we’re building together.

Your $25 donation includes:

• A premium glass of wine

• One ticket for a chance to win a premium bottle of wine, sommelier selected  

• A chance to become part of the festival’s founding community

Bring your friends:

— perfect for a night out with your crew.

This event is all about connection, creativity, and community support. Every donation helps us bring world‑class cinema, local storytelling, and inclusive programming to Long Beach.

If you believe in the power of film to bring people together, we’d love to have you with us.
